Repeated structures

The shapes people keep building.

Each pattern appeared more than once across the collected material. Convergence shows what feels natural to build; it is not a measurement of how well the shape performs under load.

01

Decision sidecar

Open pattern

A typed judgment service sits beside ordinary code; code owns effects and safety boundaries.

Caveat. The extra network hop must beat a local rule or classifier.

02

Cascade router

Open pattern

A cheap decision chooses whether to use rules, a small model, a premium model, a specialist, or a human.

Caveat. Bad routing can erase all cost savings through failures and retries.

03

Confidence gate

Open pattern

Automation proceeds above a threshold; ambiguous cases go to another check or a person.

Caveat. Thresholds require workload-specific calibration and monitoring.

04

Parallel decision matrix

Open pattern

One state is evaluated against many named questions, replacing repeated prompt/parse cycles.

Caveat. Accuracy and question interactions under large batches remain unknown.

06

Decision quorum

Open pattern

Multiple typed judgments are aggregated through voting or confidence-aware stopping.

Caveat. Calling the same model repeatedly may produce correlated rather than independent evidence.
